TSUYOSHI DOMOTO's open-air concert at Heian Jingu ended in great success on last Sunday. Heian Jingu is a Shinto shrine in Kyoto that is listed as an important cultural property of Japan. TSUYOSHI has held his concerts there every year since 2010.

TSUYOSHI appeared on the stage with a mask and opened the concert with a unique dance, which suggests Japanese classical music drama, "Noh". Followed by 'shamanippon' with his guitar, TSUYOSHI not only sang his original songs but performed some instrumentals at the piano, guitar and bass guitar too. The stage was lighten up with colourful laser during the performance, and created a unique scene with the precinct of the shrine. Approximately 5000 audience thoroughly enjoyed his music and the ambiance of the sacred place while feeling comfortable wind of autumn under starlit sky.

TSUYOSHI said the theme was "as ONE". He sent a strong message to the audience, 'Go with your own will. Though people try to give an answer in yes or no, think in neutral and give your own answer." TSUYOSHI put thought of beautiful Japanese love and the peaceful prayer in music, powerfully and gently.

On the last day, TSUYOSHI proudly said that he received a great compliment from the shrine about his fan being well-mannered. The fan must have felt honored to hear it.

TSUYOSHI closed the concert by leading the audience to do a Shinto prayer; a sequence of 2 bows, then 2 claps, hold a second and a closing bow.
